Abstract
The invention is a device for detecting images formed by thermal infrared radiation. It uses a two dimensional array of thermally sensitive elements formed of material whose capacitance changes with temperature. Changes in capacitance of the detector elements are measured and used to form an electronic representation of the thermal infared image. The detector array can be fabricated using inexpensive materials and processes.
